State of New York County of Madison: On this 9 th day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, personally appeared in open court, in the court of Common Pleas of the aforesaid County of Madison, Peter H. Ehle a resident of the town of Eaton in the said County of Madison and State of New York, aged eighty years on the thirtieth day of March last past, who being duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed June 7 th - 1832
That on the sixth day of January in the year of our Lord 1779 at Canajoharie in the County of Madison Montgomery then County of Albany and State of New York he received a commission from Col. Morgan Lewis and Quartermaster Gen. Henry Glen, as a Captain, which commission was accompanied by enlisting orders to raise a company of men to serve one year in the revolutionary war, whenever by command of superior officers they should happen to be placed, which commission expressed that he and his men should be regulated in every respect by the rules and articles of war. That immediately after he received the said commission he commenced enlisting men, under his said Commission and orders, and so continued till some time in the month of April following, when he was ordered with his men to Schenectady to be inspected; that he repaired im- mediately to Schenectady, and they were there mustered and in- spected by Richard Lush. The number of his men thus inspected were about twenty. Immediately after this in- spection they were furnished with arms, uniforms and pro- visions and ordered to Fort Stanwix to go with Col. Van Schaick's expedition against the Onondaga Indians. They took boats at Schenectady, and

This declarant with his men went immediately to Fort Herkimer. Col. Van Schaick's detachment went up the river with them to Fort Herkimer. This detachment was then under the command of Lieut. Col. Willet. At Fort Herkimer, which was then commanded by Col. Gansevoort a box of French Arms were opened from which this declarant's men were armed, and then proceeded immediately to Fort Stanwix, where they were all put under command of Col. Van Schaick. Under this command they then went to Wood Creek, and down Wood Creek into the Oneida Lake, and up the Lake to Brewington's Island near the outlet of the Lake. At Brewington's Island this declarant and Capt. Leffler and Capt. Gray with the company of this declarant, and other soldiers and other soldiers to about the number of ninety eight men, were left to guard the boats with which they came up the Lake, while Col. Van Schaick and Col. Willet went to Onondaga with the rest of the detachment against the Indians. When Col. Van Schaick and Col. Willet returned from Onondaga this declarant and his men, with the detachment returned to Fort Stanwix and there left Col. Van Schaick, and then with Leffler and Captain Gray went to Schenectady. That soon after they arrived at Schenectady, this declarant and his men or some of them made one or two trips to Fort Stanwix with ammunition and provisions, and public stores, and then returned to Schenectady again. This declarant and his men were then ordered to Saratoga, to which they went immediately. This was about the last of June as near as can be recollected. At Saratoga were kept public stores to supply Fort Miller, Fort Edward and Fort George, and here

12 declarant and his men were obliged to do garrison duty, and whenever they were clear of patrolling and standing guards etc. This declarant had to draw out working parties, that were engaged in brick making and boat building for the United States army, and thus continued in such services to the end of the year for which the men were entitled and this declarant engaged, and then Col. Yates who acted as Quartermaster Genl. discharged them. Just before they were discharged this declarant by Col. Yates order went to Albany and got money for said Col. Yates who then paid them off. This was in continental money as it was then called. This declarants pay was forty dollars per month with half a dollar lawful money for subsistence per day & other rations.
And this declarant further states that he has lost his commission.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state.
And to the following interrogatories put to the declarant in open court, he makes the following answers, to wit, Where and in what year were you born? At Canajoharie in Montgomery County. On the 30 day of March 1754
Have you any record of your age, and if so where is it? I have no record, but suppose my fathers record of my age is in the hands of My Brother Jacob Canajoharie. Where were you living when called into the service; where have you lived since the revolutionary war, and where do you now live?

May I ask of you the favor, to cause the the papers of Peter Ehle of Madison County N.Y. on file in your office to be examined.

to inform me of the result - Mr Ehle's first application was made under the law of 1818 I received I believe under the sub- =quent laws - I may perhaps have omitted one of his initials, for I cannot be certain whether he writes his name simply Peter Ehle or Peter J. Ehle -
Very Respectfully Your Most Servt.

Shittimanga May 27 th 1853 Mr Hade. Dear Sir.
By the request of Mr Ehle I address you respecting the back Pension of his fathers which remains unpaid; thirty four years up to the time of his death he was a petitioner; if; no longer; His death occurred Sept r 29 th 1847. Thirteen of those years, and no more; he received his pension money; which amount was forwarded to him was $240 dollars annually; this statement is according to letters found from persons by whom he received his pensions money in the time specified. As you have forwarded your circular to him; and the confidence he reposes in your ability and integrity. he is anxious you should try what you can do for them in this case; And if there is any thing due their father which he did not receive, they ought of all others to obtain it; if by lawful right, it belongs to them; they are poor and getting old; some of them are rather infirm in body. they are I believe all respectable people and will be sure to make a good use of all moneys they may receive. It appears by a circular received from Mr B M Young that according to the station Mr Ehle held in the army as Capt a of Militia, and afterwards Quarter Master, that his yearly pension was not as much as it should be. however I enclose you Mr Youngs circular and if any thing more can be obtained by right do all you can for them

You have undoubtedly all necessary means for obtaining what information is required in the case; And thus we submit all to your good judgement and ability, by subscribing ourselves Respectfully yours Thos. Knight By request of David Ehle
We forgot to mention where he resided when he drew his pension In Chittenango Village town of Sullivan County of Madison State of New York
You can direct your communications to Thos. Knight Or David Ehle; as you please Y R
